Dr. Jean Shen graduated from the University of Waterloo with her Doctor of Optometry (with Honours) in 1999. Her externship was at the Vitreoretinal Foundation in Memphis, TN which specialized in diagnosis, treatment and surgery for ocular disease. Following graduation, Dr. Shen practiced in Vancouver before relocating to Calgary in 2000. She performed pre and postoperative care at a laser eye clinic, before joining Calgary Optometry Centre in 2002. The valuable experience she has gained in refractive eye surgery can benefit those patients who are considering laser surgery.
Throughout her optometric career, Dr. Shen has spent extensive time volunteering in developing countries. In 2004, she organized and led a team of volunteers to provide eye care and vision aids to several orphanages in remote areas of Thailand and the borders of Myanmar. These experiences have been extremely rewarding as they combine both her love of pediatric optometry and her love of travel. In her spare time, Dr. Shen also enjoys hiking, snowboarding and spending time with her dog.
Dr. Shen has special interests in nutrition, contact lens fitting and dry eye therapy. However, she welcomes all patients and looks forward to developing a tailored approach to meeting your vision care needs for your lifestyle, occupation and hobbies.
